Kathy,Ray, Melodee and family,
It breaks my heart that I can't be there with you. You have made me feel like a part of the family and Maryann was my second mother. I'm so glad we spent those few months together earlier this year. I love you all, and please know I am there in spirit. God's band now has another beautiful voice and a kick-ass bass player!

To Ray and all of the family: Our sincere sympathies for your great loss. We knew Maryann for a long time and had a lot of good times over the years. Once she was your friend, she was a friend for life. We will always smile when we think of her.
